Left-wing activist Michael Moore says US defense should focus on climate, white supremacists, Covid vaccines

Left-wing activist Michael Moore claimed Sunday that U.S. defense policy and spending should be refocused from military involvement in other countries to instead fight climate change, White supremacy and the coronavirus pandemic. Appearing on MSNBC, Moore suggested U.S. armed forces weren't "the good guys" because of their military involvement in countries like Syria and Somalia, and instead claimed he wanted to be known for doing "the good things," like building wells in poor villages rather than provide funding to Israel's Iron Dome defense system. "As we speak tonight the U.S. still has 2,500 troops in Iraq. Last week the U.S. military admitted that a drone strike in Kabul that killed ten innocent civilians was an American drone strike. Seven of them were kids. We talk about ending the war but we're still going to carry on with drones, we're still going to carry on with these, quote, over-the-horizon operations. You know, we are still at war," host Mehdi Hasan said after playing a clip of President Joe Biden touting the U.S. not being at war for the first time in 20 years.
